Ergonomic rotatable apparatus and method for use thereof to carry and store equipment and accessories

Abstract

An apparatus for use about a selected portion of a user's torso comprising at least one accessory mountable traveler member and at least one traveler band. The accessory mountable traveler member is slidably saddled upon the least one traveler band, which encircles and encloses the selected portion of a user's torso to allow the circumvolution of the accessory mountable traveler member about the entire outer perimeter of the apparatus and around the user's torso.

Accordingly, we claim: 
     
       1. A wearable track system, comprising:
 a strap having a first fastening end, a second fastening end, and a strap length separating the first fastening end from the second fastening end; and 
 a track extending along the strap length and disposed on the strap via at least one spacer, the track having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end extends beyond the first fastening end and the second end extends beyond the second fastening end, each of the first end and second end being configured to couple to one another to thereby form the track into a continuous looped structure. 
 
     
     
       2. The wearable track system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one saddle detachably coupled to the track. 
     
     
       3. The wearable track system of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one saddle has a C-shaped groove configured to slidably and removably engage the track. 
     
     
       4. The wearable track system of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one saddle is configured to slidably and removably engage the track at any point along the track. 
     
     
       5. The wearable track system of  claim 2 , further comprising a locking mechanism on the at least one saddle. 
     
     
       6. The wearable track system of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one saddle has a C-shaped groove configured to slidably and removably engage the track. 
     
     
       7. The wearable track system of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one saddle is configured to slidably and removably engage the track at any point along the track. 
     
     
       8. The wearable track system of  claim 3 , further comprising a locking mechanism on the at least one saddle. 
     
     
       9. The wearable track system of  claim 4 , further comprising a locking mechanism on the at least one saddle. 
     
     
       10. The wearable track system of  claim 1 , wherein the first end and the second end couple via a slidable tongue. 
     
     
       11. The wearable track system of  claim 10 , further comprising at least one saddle detachably coupled to the track. 
     
     
       12. The wearable track system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one saddle has a C-shaped groove configured to slidably and removably engage the track. 
     
     
       13. The wearable track system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one saddle is configured to slidably and removably engage the track at any point along the track. 
     
     
       14. The wearable track system of  claim 11 , further comprising a locking mechanism on the at least one saddle. 
     
     
       15. The wearable track system of  claim 14 , wherein the at least one saddle has a C-shaped groove configured to slidably and removably engage the track. 
     
     
       16. The wearable track system of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one saddle is configured to slidably and removably engage the track at any point along the track. 
     
     
       17. The wearable track system of  claim 15 , further comprising a locking mechanism on the at least one saddle. 
     
     
       18. The wearable track system of  claim 16 , further comprising a locking mechanism on the at least one saddle. 
     
     
       19. A wearable track system, comprising:
 a strap having a first fastening end, a second fastening end, and a strap length separating the first fastening end from the second fastening end, each of the first fastening end and the second fastening end being configured to couple to one another to thereby form a substantially circular garment configured to receive a portion of a user's body; 
 a track extending along the strap length and disposed above the strap via at least one spacer, the track having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end extends beyond the first fastening end and the second end extends beyond the second fastening end, each of the first end and second end being configured to couple to one another to thereby form a continuous circular travel path, wherein the continuous circular travel path is substantially concentric with the substantially circular garment; and 
 at least one saddle detachably coupled to the track, wherein the at least one saddle either has a C-shaped groove configured to slidably and removably engage the track or has a locking mechanism, 
 wherein a location of coupling the first end and the second overlaps with a location of coupling the first fastening end and the second fastening end. 
 
     
     
       20. A track belt, comprising:
 a belt; 
 a track disposed away from the belt via a spacer, the track having a first end and a second end, each of the first end and the second end extending beyond the length of the belt when the track is disposed thereon; and 
 a sliding-coupling disposed on either the first end or the second end of the track, the sliding-coupling being configured to connect the first end to the second end to form a continuous track loop in spaced relation to the belt.
